Answer:

Current would decrease 9 times.

Explanation:

Assume all others (potential difference U, resistivity ρ, and length L) are the same, only change in the diameter, we would have the following ratio

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{U/R_1}{U/R_2} = \frac{U}{U}\frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{\rho L/A_2}{\rho L / A_1} = \frac{\rho L}{\rho L}\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{\pi d_1^2/4}{\pi d_2^2/4} = \frac{4\pi}{4\pi}\left(\frac{d_1}{d_2}\right)^2 = 3^2 = 9

I_2 = I_1/9

So the current would decrease 9 times.

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.046 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.20 m away are 8.9 cm apart n
Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;

y = mλD/d

Where;

D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m

d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m

The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.

Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:

y = mλD/d

So, λ = dy/mD

Thus,

λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

What is the distance that a car travels if it was brought to stop in 5 seconds and if it was traveling at 110 Km/h
Triss [41]

Answer:

Suppose that the acceleration is a constant, a.

a(t) = a.

To write the velocity equation, we must integrate over time, and the constant of integration will be equal to the initial velocity, in this case is 110km/h.

v(t) = a*t + 110km/h

And we know that at t = 5s, the car was brought to stop, so the velocity must be zero.

v(5s) = 0 = a*5s + 110km/h.

a = (110km/h)*(1/5s)

now we have that:

1 hour = 3600 seconds.

1km = 1000m

then:

110km/h = (110*1000/3600)m/s = 30.56 m/s

Then we have:

a = (-30.55 m/s)/5s = -6.11 m/s^2

Now the velocity equation is:

v(t) = -6.11m/s^2*t + 30.56m/s

To write the positon equation we must integrate over time again, we can get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*t^2 + (30.56m/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position, here i will assume that is zero, because it does no really mater.

The total displacement of the car will be equal to p(5s)

p(5s) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + (30.56m/s)*(5s) = 76.425 meters.
